Tusdeer Signs Labeling & Packaging Agreement with

NESTLÉ PURINA PETCARE

Tusdeer, Saudi Arabia’s first and largest bonded and re-export zone, signed an agreement with

Nestlé Saudi Arabia, allowing NESTLÉ PURINA PETCARE products to be custom labeled

and packaged to conform with the Kingdom’s regulations upon arrival at Jeddah Islamic Port.

“To date, the majority of global brands still utilize other regional ports as transit hubs to re-label or re-

package their products to conform to Saudi Arabian regulations, before transporting them by land or sea to

their final consumers in the Kingdom,” said Mr. Hemanth Prakash, Tusdeer Managing Director.

“Tusdeer is now offering companies an efficient and cost effective process to bring their goods into

Saudi Arabia, thanks to extensive support and cooperation from the Jeddah Islamic Port, and the Saudi

Customs Authority.”

Companies can now bring their products directly into the Kingdom through Tusdeer’s bonded and re-

export zone at the Jeddah Islamic Port, saving on handling and freight charges, with Tusdeer providing all

value added services including re-labeling, bundling, and re-packaging.

Also Mr. Ayman Barqawi, Tusdeer Executive director (Portfolio) Added “This ensures Tusdeer

becomes a strategic option as a regional logistics hub for global brands looking to expand in the

region,” Also “We are proud of the fact that this new offering contributes to further enhancing

supply chain efficiencies in the Kingdom, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 for the logistics

sector in Saudi Arabia.”
